Travis Head has gone
It might come as a surprise to some of you guys, but I like Steven Smith.
I like class batsmen - and Steven Smith is certainly class.
I hope he doesn't get booed. I think Bancroft & Davie deserved it.
But, Steven Smith, for all his faults, is a great batsman.
Just my thoughts.
Jeps, mate, this is the Ashes and anything can happen.
That's why we LOVE it!

105-5
Woakesy again!
I still reckon Smith is the best batsman in the World. (Kohli is second).

Hey, mate I love Kane Williamson.
Know what? NZ just don't play as many Test Matches for him to be where he should be.
I'd rate Smithy & Kohli at joint #1
Kane & Root at joint #2
The rest nowhere!
But, I LOVE Cricket first, above all.

It's 7 now, mate!
I need a breather!
A vodka & Orange will do just as well, though!

Still some doubt about some of the lbw decisions.
But, heck, that's sport!
It comes around and it goes around.
You take good care of yourself, Jep, mate!

It's all good. Ashes to Ashes , Aussie bat like monkeys,
Apart from Smith, Im not sure who is worse !.. the Aussie top order, or the substandard umpiring.springrain wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:55 pmStill some doubt about some of the lbw decisions.

It was a storming fight back by Australia to dismiss Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen & Burns in quick succession. But what dogs of war Broady and Woakesy are!
Isn't Test Cricket simply the best?

All out, 90 run lead. Would’ve wanted more than that at the start of the day but happily take it now.
A few overs before tea to knock a couple over.
